Collaboration

Pull requests are a chance to ask, learn, and make sure that the code being merged is something EVERYONE is comfortable owning.

Funny how a little due diligence mixes so well with a healthy interest in avoiding unnecessary future work.

Does the mere thought of explaining your code cause anxiety? Be confident! We should all understand what we’re writing and why. It’s an opportunity (for everyone) to learn!

Does the idea of submitting to a code review make you sweat bullets? Or do you brush it off as a necessary evil? It should be a (hopefully positive) conversation, wherein the team agrees to the code they’re all going to have to help maintain, and maybe learns something new too.
